Qin Yanning carried a lantern and carefully walked around to the garden behind Tianning Palace.

The two maids of the Yan family followed Qin Yanning not too far away, giving her a full sense of security.

In the hall, Shen Ziyu saw that Qin Yanning had disappeared, so he found an excuse to sneak out.

When Qin Yanning walked into the garden, Shen Yuanan was already waiting inside.

He was wearing a long green gown and had a somewhat elegant and scholarly temperament. He really looked like a decent person. No wonder the original owner was so infatuated with him.

Seeing Qin Yanning coming, Shen Yuanan adjusted his expression and said with concern: "Ningning, I know your father has been giving you a hard time recently."

"But my father just sent me to the Ministry of Personnel for training, and I really can't spare the time to help you. But you can't get engaged to the emperor's uncle just because you're angry with me."

"Do you know that the Emperor's uncle..."

Qin Yanning sneered and asked, "How is the Regent?"

Shen Yuanan had never seen Qin Yanning like this in front of him. It was much more attractive than her previous timid appearance.

He was stunned for a moment before continuing, "The emperor's uncle is unlucky in marriage."

Qin Yanning raised her eyes to look at Shen Yuanan. The man in the night had an anxious look on his face, and it seemed as if he was really thinking about her.

But hidden beneath the human skin is a beast's heart.

Qin Yanning dodged Shen Yuanan's outstretched hand and said, "Whether the Regent is unlucky or not, I won't bother the Seventh Prince with worrying about it."

"There has been no connection between you and me since the day I asked Lan Yue to ask you to persuade Daddy not to force me to be his concubine, but you avoided me."

"Seventh Prince, please respect yourself. After all, I am now..."

Before Qin Yanning could finish his words, a man coughed lightly from not far away.
